That log is certainly incomplete and obfuscated, and possibly inaccurately
transcribed too. Please don't obfuscate: http://wiki.exim.org/DontObfuscate

What's the complete log for message 1M8rq5-0003kh-LJ ? (use exigrep, if you
like). The log should start with a line like this:

2009-05-26 14:03:15 1M8rq5-0003kh-LJ <= <> R=XXXXXX-XXXXXX-EZ U=Debian-exim P=local S=1170 T="Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender"

where XXXXXX-XXXXXX-EZ is the ID of the message that bounced. Please post the
full log of that message too.

Thanks
